Alex Zemke is a professional animator whose credits include Uncharted 2 & 3 as well as Disney films The Smurfs and G-Force.

It makes sense, then, that his work on 'Companionship_' looks so impressive.

The upcoming animated Portal-themed short would seem to be a personal project for Mr. Zemke, so we don't have much in the way of a release date or any specifics just yet. But what we do have are some images from his work.

Along with the pic atop this post, here are a couple others:

These images are available in larger sizes on Mr. Zemke's DeviantArt page, which also includes the following copy.

And here's what's gonna keep me from drawing! I'm working may ass off on a new animated short, based on the Portal games. It's called "Companionship_", and it's a tale of love, loss and cubes.

I needed to see how the assets were coming along, so I threw together this quick pose/lighting test. It really helped get me excited again after a week of character tweaking.
